Hi, I don't post frequently but would like to share a recent purchase that I am very excited about and would like to share with the community! A very rare Hadrain denarius depicting Patientia! As far as I know it is the only Roman coin showing Patientia. Obv. HADRIANVS AVGUSTUS PP. Rev. PATIENTIA AVGVSTI / COS III 3.45g, 17mm Thanks for watching and feel free to add your rare Hadrians denarii!
AR Denarius (17mm, 3.14g) HADRIANVS AVGVSTVS, laureate head right / COS III, star within crescent, globe below. RIC 201.
I had no idea the type even existed. Great coin! I suppose Hadrian would have had a great deal of patientia to travel the empire at the speed of galleys and horses.
Lol Hadrian is on my get next list. Bucket list: to visit Hadrian's wall on the UK Btw, in those days it was probably easier and faster to travel 500 miles by sea than 100 by land. No Autobahn
